Chagford 4
Waldon Athletic 4
CHAGFORD started positively, suffered a mid-game collapse and then came strongly at the finish.
Steve Scott scored as early as the fourth minute, collecting Botham's searching cross field ball and knocking it home from close in.
Twelve minutes later Scott was sent one-on-one with Waldon's 'keeper, only to see his effort parried away. Chadwick's corner looked over hit but Miller chased the ball down, crossing low for Scott to sweep in his second.
Chagford looked to be well on course for the points but squandered four chances nor did they reckoned on Waldons' team spirit which was to bring them just rewards.
Hutchison sliced a 19th minute clearance straight to Curtis Booth who fired wide with the home goal at his mercy but, within minutes, Booth drilled in a low cross that Stuart Webb converted nicely.
Waldon snatched the lead just before when from a 40th minute corner, the ball was deftly flicked past Chagford keeper Scarry by Nathan Beech from close in.
Two minutes later, Booth outpaced everyone to meet a hopeful through ball and slotted the ball home unchallenged.
Robin Crowther-Smith came on for Botham at half-time, as Chagford fought to salvage something from the game. Ten minutes into the half, Chagford were denied a clear penalty claim. Robbie Miller got the Moormen back on track by running on to Davis's through ball and tucking the ball in at the far post. Scott, who had worked tirelessly, set up Chadwick who blasted over and then saw his own chance well blocked by a crowded defence.
Waldon came back with a goal by Webb who headed home from a cross. The hosts bringing on de Cruz and Whatley, drove forward in search of another equaliser and played their best football of the match with Davis, Emanuel and Chadwick coming into their own in midfield.
Davis fired over from Emanuel's set up, Miller sent a header narrowly wide and a swift interchange with Davis saw another shot blocked. With just minutes to go, Robbie Miller found the space and turned and fired the ball into the net for the eighth goal of the match.
